{{scroll|name=teleportation|cost=100|ink=10&ndash;19|muse=def}}

A '''scroll of teleportation''' can be used for [[teleport]]ing. It has a base cost of 100 [[zorkmid|zm]], and takes between 10 and 19 charges (inclusive) for a [[magic marker]] to write one.

== Generation ==

The scroll has a relative probability of 7% for generation. Monsters are likely to be generated with one, and when scrolls are found in an inaccessible [[closet]], at least one of them is guaranteed to be a scroll of teleportation.

== Identification ==

The scroll is most commonly identified by observing a monster use one when scared. If the teleportation fails, the scroll won't be auto-identified, but it produces the usual teleportation-failure messages "<monster> shudders for a moment" (teleported to the same level) and "<monster> seems very disoriented for a moment" (teleport blocked by the Amulet).{{refsrc|muse.c|619}} You can then [[name|type-name]] and formally identify it if you have the scroll in your inventory. You can also do the same with scrolls picked up in closets.

== Effects ==

{{main|Teleportation}}

If the scroll is blessed, the player will be asked whether they want to teleport. If the scroll is non-cursed, they will teleport to a location within the same level; if it is cursed, they will be [[level teleport|teleported to another level]]. If the player has [[teleport control]], they will always be asked where they want to be teleported. Otherwise, the teleport is uncontrolled and the new location will be chosen randomly. All "safe" places on the current level are equally likely; see [[level teleport]] for uncontrolled levelporting.

Reading a scroll of teleportation while confused, with [[teleport control]], allows a player to level teleport and pick the level; however, there is still a chance [[rnl|dependent on Luck]] that the teleport may be random.{{refsrc|teleport.c|606}} Having at least +11 Luck will result in success about 98% of the time.

The [[Amulet of Yendor]] has an effect on using scrolls of teleportation; when carrying it, there is a {{frac|3}} chance that nothing happens, producing the message "You feel disoriented for a moment." This always happens if you attempt a levelport while carrying the Amulet. Trying to teleport on a [[no-teleport level]] such as [[Sokoban]] will instead produce the message "A [[mysterious force]] prevents you from teleporting!" to indicate that all teleport attempts will fail.

{{upcoming|NetHack 3.7.0|Since {{commit|81ec2bfa2a8fe71c60b55a706ed25e2af0b803e0}}, a blessed scroll of teleportation now allows you to choose where to teleport to even without teleport control. You can still choose not to teleport by pressing {{kbd|Esc}} at the prompt. The one-shot teleport control from a blessed scroll does not apply to a levelport from reading a blessed scroll while confused.}}

== Variants ==
===SLASH'EM===
In [[SLASH'EM]], a blessed scroll of teleportation allows the player to choose where to teleport, even if they do not have [[teleport control]], by granting them the intrinsic for one whole turn. This allows use of blessed and cursed scrolls in sequence for controlled levelport if the player has high [[speed]].

===FIQHack===
In [[FIQHack]], blessed scrolls of teleportation will allow you to perform controlled teleportation, instead of asking if you want to teleport.

===xNetHack===
[[xNetHack]] also replaces the teleportation prompt for blessed scrolls of teleportation with the ability to grant a controlled teleport.
